Configuring External Monitors
The External Monitors workspace provides access to a virtual monitor wall, with monitor icons arranged to correspond to physical NTSC/PAL or
VGA monitors. When monitoring live video, you can drag cameras into this window to display video and control PTZ on your monitor wall. With
Endura you can create a new external monitor wall configuration, import an existing external monitor wall configuration from the system
manager, or export a new or modified monitor wall configuration for use by others. With the Export command, you can also delete an external
monitor wall configuration.
Any monitor that is attached to any workstation or device can be included on an external monitor wall. This includes monitors that are attached
to a decoder, an MDD, an Endura workstation, or to a remote computer that is running the WS5000 advanced system software.

3. Choose monitors of the correct sizes to correspond to your physical monitor wall, dragging and dropping each one into the frame. Arrange
the icons in the frame to reflect your monitor wall configuration. For fine-tuning the alignment, use the arrow keys on your PC keyboard to
nudge the icons into place. Use the vertical and horizontal scroll bars to view any monitors that extend beyond the screen.
4. Click a monitor icon in the layout. A black border indicates the currently selected monitor.
5. Associate each physical monitor with one of the on-screen icons by dragging and dropping a network monitor from the list on the left onto
the appropriate monitor icon on the right. The name of the assigned monitor appears within the blue icon. Unassigned monitors are gray
and do not display a name.
WARNING: Deleting an external monitor wall configuration means that it will no longer be available for others on the system.
Before you delete an external monitor wall configuration, make sure that others no longer need it.
